It's all about me

I also dislike shopping. My friends who are big shoppers like to go out and look at stuff even if they aren't planning to buy it now. I've never gotten that. I will shop if I have a purpose AND I haven't found the item online or it is something that I have to try on (e.g., an interview suit). Otherwise I don't go near a mall. Especially around Christmas. I haven't shopped for Christmas gifts in a mall in about 5 years.

Christmas shopping is an exception. Christmas (Holiday, whatever) shopping sucks. Sucks sucks sucks. I don't know how some people really get into standing in line all morning to go shopping at 7:00 am the day after Thanksgiving. I'd rather just sleep.
On the other hand, I love to shop. I avoid sales. That makes shopping more pleasurable. I am a small sized person and wear a shoe size smaller than a 6. Which means I can only shop at certain stores. The selection of stores gets smaller every day. I have to try clothing on and usually have to have my stuff altered. Sleeves and/or pants shortened. I can rarely buy work clothing off-the-rack. Casual clothes, I don't care.
Shopping is fun. Buying new things is fun.

You weren't by any chance, a contestant on "The Littlest Groom", were you?

I have sworn up and down that I keep seeing Kerri Strug (the gymnast who landed on one foot, to clinch the women's team gold or somethign like that) on the streets of D.C. around my office. I'd point her out and people would say "nah, that's not her. Bunny, how do you even recall what she looks like?"

So, I'm at a party this weekend and I find out that one of the Bunnyman's friends just hooked up with her in a bar, that she works in D.C. very close to my office. I feel so vinidacted.

There was an article in the Post about her recently. She's something like an executive assistant for a deputy treasury secretary.

Is that the board equivalent of "redacted," and if so, is it better than the ignore feature?

Why wouldn't they?

Notwithstanding its many miles of majestic coastline, Norway is known more for its fjords than its beaches. The first hit on my Google search told me about beaches near Norway, Michigan (which does not have its own beach volleyball team at the Olympics, alas). Lacking a coastline (no offense to Lake Geneva), Switzerland probably has fewer beaches still, though modern technology and market forces are great things.

eta: STP. I'm just happy to see the Norwegian players there. Didn't mean any slight to Norway, and I'm hoping to see its fine beaches next year.

for me vini-dacted is when I go back and delete shit I posted after drinking a little.

You mean Switzerland, home country of the America's Cup? No beaches? No ocean? What's the world coming to?

I always wanted that dinosaur to be pronounced PETERdactyl. In fact, I would want my daughter Chlamydia's brother to be named Peterdactyl.

If I was funny, I would be able to turn this into a joke with "Norwegian Wood" as a punchline.

Alas, I am not.

This is usually done for me.
